Silsbee’s Mackey transfers to Evadale

Kolten Mackey, Southeast Texas’ only 1,000-yard receiver last season, confirmed with the Enterprise Tuesday that he has transferred from Silsbee to Evadale and will play football with the Rebels this season.

Mackey, who collected 1,143 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2015, said the transfer was due to a family move.

The senior leaves a hole in the Tigers’ offense, who will now rely on junior Kalon Barnes – 797 yards and 14 touchdowns – as their main receiving target.
